[QUOTE="gwai84, post: 1515639, member: 407377"] I've noticed foamy urine many times over the years - type 1 for 22 years and absolutely no evidence of kidney disease. I thought exactly the same thing you did the first few times I had it, but my urine has always been completely clear and so now I've gotten used to it. Foamy urine [U]can[/U] be a sign of protein in the urine, but a degree of foaming is normal - depends on force of urination, standing or sitting position, chemicals (e.g. bleach) in the toilet, and how high your sugar is (I find it's more pronounced with high glucose, maybe because the urine is sugary!). I know it's scary but this is likely to be nothing to worry about. You should give your GP a urine sample though to be sure, as noblehead says. [/QUOTE]
